Inform Businesses of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are a few people, offices, and businesses you should let know about your address change other than your family. The most obvious is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where for all intents and purposes, any mail that is sent to your original address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a short amount of time, so it's best that you inform everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in contact with include: your telephone, cable, water, and electric.

Locating Moving Supplies

You can frequently find commercial moving supplies at any moving company that expressly offers commercial relocation. Although, just for the sake of convenience, you could phone in advance to find out whether or not they have the commercial moving supplies you are looking for. That way, you don't have to call various locations, only to find out that they don't carry the items you want. If you run into issues finding a mover that offers commercial relocation, think about going through a moving broker to find one.

Back up Your Files

It is a good idea that you back up the files on your personal computers or PDAs ahead of your move, especially if you use either for for your business. Bear in mind, severe temperatures can damage your files so make certain to pack and secure them in a cool place. It is a good idea that you move these items yourself instead of leaving them to the moving company.
